신해혁명과 한국 - 한인 지사 金秉萬의 河南에서의 활동을 중심으로 -

Abstract

This article closely tracks the activities of Kim Byung-man (金秉萬, 1872-1932), a Korean independence activist who fled to Henan(河南) province of China in November 1909, just before Korea became a Japanese colony. Having insisted on the restoration of the Joseon Dynasty and the implementation of the constitutional monarchy, he turned into a republican immediately after the exile through active exchanges with local Chinese revolutionary leaders such as Yang Yuanmao(楊源懋), and Liu Jixun(劉積勛). He also interacted with the revolutionary movement leaders in Henan and Shandong(山東) provinces, and responded to theirs requests for support in cooperation with Cho Seonghwan(曺成煥), who were active in Beijing at that time. Kim Byung-man’s thought and activities show the influences of the Xinhai Revolution on Korea, as well as the Koreans’ widespread support for the revolutionary movements not only in the principal centers of the revolution like Guangdong(廣東), Shanghai(上海), or Nanjing(南京), but also in other parts of China. In this sense, the Xinhai Revolution was not just a republican revolution of a particular country China, but a republican revolution of all of East Asia.
